It’s a difficult task that a mother’s assigned –
To always be loving and gentle and kind …
For there surely are times when she’d much rather be.
A little less busy, a little more free …
But you’ve never quit, Mom, just because you were tired.
And these are the reasons you’re loved and admired …
For you’ve given your heart and your “motherly touch:
To your home and your family who loves you so much!
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Grace
